BILL GRAY
Mr. BOREN. Mr. President, I wish to offer my sincere sympathy to my
colleague from Vermont on the loss of his dear friend and very talented
and great citizen of our country. I am glad I was on the floor to hear
his remarks because I think often, as we debate about abstract issues
of policy, as we seek to serve here and make life better for large
groups of our citizens, that sometimes in the rush of business we
forget how much those individual relationships, personal friendships,
family relationships mean to us. We forget that our lives, to be whole
and complete, must be involved not only in the service of mankind and
womankind collectively, but also in the service and relationship to
individuals, one at a time, and especially to those who are closest to
us.
